Product overview
Xperia™ ZR highlights
• Waterproof*, dust and scratch resistant (IP55 / IP58)
• 4.6-inch HD Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2
• 13.1MP fast capture camera with Exmor RS™ and HDR
• Snapdragon™ S4 Pro quad-core 1.5 Ghz processor with 2GB RAM and One-touch mirroring
• Battery STAMINA Mode for better battery life
Bring it everywhere
Xperia™ ZR is the new waterproof* smart phone from Sony. So you can film in HD and take photos under
water, capturing sharp visuals in any conditions. It’s also dust and scratch resistant. Bring it to the pool.
Drop it in the goldfish bowl. Take it out in the rain. Get it dusty. The Xperia™ ZR is precision crafted to
handle whatever you throw at it.
Bright and sharp HD screen
The sharp 4.6-inch HD Reality Display powered by Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 features the same contrast
enhancement technology as used in Sony TVs, so you really feely feel like you’re there. And when the
Xperia™ ZR is turned off, the OptiContrast™ panel makes the entire front seamlessly, solemnly black.
Picture perfection
The Xperia™ ZR’s 13.1-megapixel fast-capture camera goes from sleep to snap in just over a second. The
device handles low light too, thanks to the highly sensitive Exmor RS™ for mobile BSI sensor. And with
HDR, pictures and videos that you shoot in strong backlit conditions still come out great.
High speed
The Xperia™ ZR has the latest-generation Snapdragon™ S4 Pro quad-core 1.5 Ghz processor. In short,
it’s fast. Move seamlessly between apps, movies, music and more. The processor is asynchronous too –
the four cores work separately but don’t use more battery power than they need to.
Share your phone screen on a TV
You can use the Screen Mirroring** feature to wirelessly share content from your phone via a TV. With the
touch of a button, you can, for example, watch a selected photo pop up on the TV screen or listen to the
current music track (from your phone’s music player) play on the TV’s speakers.
Better battery life
With Battery STAMINA Mode you have more intelligent battery management and can easily improve your
standby time by four times or more. When the screen is off, your phone automatically shuts down the
battery-draining apps you don’t need, then starts them up again when the screen is back on. You can also
choose which apps to keep running even when the screen is off.
* In compliance with IP55 and IP58, Xperia™ ZR is protected against the ingress of dust and is
waterproof. Provided that all ports and covers are firmly closed, the phone is (i) protected against low
pressure jets of water from all practicable directions in compliance with IP55; and/or (ii) can be kept under
1.50 metres of freshwater for up to 30 minutes in compliance with IP58. For more information, go to

** Your TV must support screen mirroring based on Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast™ for the screen mirroring
feature to work. If your TV does not support such screen mirroring, you need to purchase a wireless
display adapter separately. When using screen mirroring, the image quality may sometimes be negatively
impacted if there is interference from other Wi-Fi networks.
